I got to interview @jeremyphoward ! 🐐🐐
When I was first trying to wrap my head around GPUs/deep learning, I spent weeks watching @fastdotai on YouTube
Crazy full circle moment to be able to give Jeremy a DGX spark
👀 7 questions on open source AI and agents with @jeremyphoward, founder of @answerdotai and co-founder of @fastdotai.
Hear his thoughts on the future of open source AI, the rise of AI agents, and why humans should stay at the center of innovation.
Interview took place after his keynote at #PyTorchCon.

18 months ago, @karpathy set a challenge: "Can you take my 2h13m tokenizer video and translate [into] a book chapter".
We've done it! It includes prose, code & key images. It's a great way to learn this key piece of how LLMs work.

It's a strange time to be a programmer—easier than ever to get started, but easier to let AI steer you into frustration. We've got an antidote that we've been using ourselves with 1000 preview users for the last year: "solveit"
Now you can join us.🧵

We love hearing these stories about our amazing alumni! :D
Replying to @jeremyphoward @fastdotai
Thank you so much Jeremy, it's hard to express via twitter how much your course helped
We just released a new version of fastai that's now compatible with the latest @PyTorch 2.2.
h/t @benjamin_warner
Either: "pip install -U fastai" or "conda install -c fastai fastai" to upgrade.

My @fastdotai cofounder @math_rachel has been studying immunology for the last couple of years, & she's discovered some fascinating opportunities for AI in immunology.
Her new post summarises recent research on using AI/ML to uncover immune cell networks

Last year, @HamelHusain (re) taught me a super power 🙏
“If you sincerely spend 3 hours everyday learning a new topic
In 6 months, you’ll be really far ahead”
This is something we learned in @fastdotai that Hamel reminded me when I expressed my imposter scare of LLMs

Soooo proud to be @fastdotai alumni 👨🎓 I was stuck in math previously. @fastdotai guided me into right direction. Can’t imagine only 2 months after the course, I co-founded startup with Fast.ai Alumni and won $10,000 check 🌻🚀 – at Australia

Second notebook "Detect Sleep States" @kaggle competition is done 🎃 it contains:
▫️ EDA & visuals of time series data
▫️ sleep representations using spectrograms
▫️ time feature engineering using @fastdotai
▫️ @wandb tracking for datasets and visuals

I am so excited to see @jeremyphoward as a guest on @latentspacepod. The @fastdotai book and course helped to get me started with deep learning and also brought together an excellent community of fellow learners.
🆕 The End of Finetuning
latent.space/p/fastai
"The right way to fine-tune language models... is to actually throw away the idea of fine-tuning. There's no such thing. There's only continued pre-training."
— @jeremyphoward, who created ULMFiT with @seb_ruder back in 2018!

New fastai release with a handful of items+fixes from yours truly. Including adding support for bfloat16 mixed precision training.
Release has fixes from multiple new & returning contributors.
Minimum versions of Python & PyTorch were increased to 3.8 and 1.10, respectively.
Just pushed out a new version of fastai -- now compatible with the recently-released @PyTorch version 2.1.

Wtf this magic by @fastdotai . Very convenience.

As a co-leader of the Deep Learners Study Group on the @fastdotai Discord, I'm excited to announce our group is now free format!
Join us every Saturday at 12:00 UTC, regardless whether you're doing fastai Course Part 1 or 2, and share your progress!

Good list - but another, often better way is to "consumption drive" your learning so you don't give up halfway.
Figure out the problem you want to solve, and then learn what you need to learn to solve it.
I recommend @fastdotai by @jeremyphoward
To start with Machine Learning:
1. Learn Python
2. Practice using Google Colab
Take these 2 free courses:
• Introduction to Python Programming (Udacity)
• Machine Learning Crash Course (Google)
If you need a bit more time before diving deeper, finish the following Kaggle tutorials:
• Intro to Machine Learning
• Intermediate Machine Learning
At this point, you are ready to finish your first project: The Titanic Challenge on Kaggle.
If Math is not your strong suit, don't worry. I don't recommend you spend too much time learning Math before writing code. Instead, learn the concepts on-demand: Find what you need when needed.
From here, take the Machine Learning specialization in Coursera. It's more advanced, and it will stretch you out a bit.
The top universities worldwide have published their Machine Learning and Deep Learning classes online. Here are some of them:
• MIT 6.S191 Introduction to Deep Learning
• DS-GA 1008 Deep Learning
• UC Berkeley Full Stack Deep Learning
• UC Berkeley CS 182 Deep Learning
• Cornell Tech CS 5787 Applied Machine Learning
Many different books will help you. The attached image will give you an idea of my favorite ones.
Finally, keep these three ideas in mind:
1. Start by working on solved problems so you can find help whenever you get stuck.
2. ChatGPT will help you make progress. Use it to summarize complex concepts and generate questions you can answer to practice.
3. Find a community here on 𝕏 and share your work. Ask questions, and help others.
During this time, you'll deal with a lot. Sometimes, you will feel it's impossible to keep up with everything happening, and you'll be right.
Here are the good news:
Most people understand a tiny fraction of the world of Machine Learning. You don't need more to build a fantastic career in the space.
Focus on finding your path, and Write. More. Code.
That's how you win.

It’s cool to me how many @fastdotai alums are working on LLM stuff now. It’s a real testament to how the course didn’t just teach us specific knowledge but also a practical, problem-solving approach to ML rooted in open source (And I’ve been seeing @jeremyphoward in Discord too!)

GPU rich vs poor: Remember DAWNBench? @fastdotai blew away the leaderboard using dramatically less compute and less time
GPU abundance can actually become a weakness

A few months ago as part of Walk with @fastdotai, I did a presentation discussing @huggingface Accelerate. This talked about what the framework is, its layers, and how to utilize it best for your problems.
Today I've made this lecture public: youtu.be/eLWge4UZJnM

Are you feeling overwhelmed by the hype surrounding GPT/Palm/Claude/LLM? Do you want to establish a solid foundation in AI/ML?
I highly recommend starting with the @fastdotai course.
If you're a software engineer with no ml background, here's the plan:
